Someone found a Tesla Cybertruck release candidate and pulled out a measuring tape to figure out the actual width of the electric pickup ahead of the official spec and dimension release.
Despite Cybertruck deliveries expected to start in the coming weeks, there’s still so much we don’t know about the electric pickup truck, including final production specs and dimension.
Not long after unveiling the Cybertruck prototype in 2019, CEO Elon Musk started talking about making the electric pickup smaller to fit inside a regular garage.
In 2020, the CEO was asked what the biggest change is to Cybertruck from the prototype, and he responded that Tesla “reduced the size by ~3%,” made the “center line more level,” and “lowered the window sill height.”
Recently, Tesla confirmed that the Cybertruck will be “sub-19-ft” with a 6-ft bed. Nineteen feet is 228 inches or 5.8 meters.
There have been plenty of Cybertruck release candidate sightings in recent months, but no one took a measuring tape to one until now.
A poster on the Cybertruck Owner’s Club posted some images of them measuring the width of a Cybertruck from the back and confirmed a width of 78″ at the widest part of the back and 72″ at the rear bumper.
This would make the Cybertruck a bit less wide than other popular pickup trucks like F-150, but the measure might not be 100% accurate as the Cybertruck appears to be a bit large around the middle.
However, it is still a pretty good estimation, give or take a few inches.
Tesla is expected to give all the final production details, including dimensions and range, at a delivery event for the Cybertruck by the end of the year.
